How to evaluate BI & Data Visualization

This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of GoodData. It comes from our Business Intelligence & Analytics buyer guide.

25%

Semantic Layer & Governed Metrics

How metric definitions are authored, versioned, and certified; whether the model is tool-locked or interoperable (LookML, dbt/Cube via SQL or MCP); row- and column-level security inheritance; lineage; and prevention of conflicting definitions across content

20%

Self-Service & Analytical Depth

Authoring experience for analysts vs. business users, drag-and-drop vs. spreadsheet vs. search paradigms, calculation expressiveness (DAX, LookML, set/associative logic), depth of ad-hoc exploration, and how far a non-technical user gets without IT

15%

AI & Natural-Language Analytics

Quality of NL-to-query and agentic features (Copilot, Pulse, Spotter, Qlik Answers, Gemini, Joule), whether answers are grounded in the governed semantic layer, explainability and citation of results, hallucination guardrails, and forecasting/insight automation

15%

Data-Platform Fit & Performance

Live query-down vs. in-memory extract behavior on your warehouse (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Fabric/OneLake), concurrency at your real user count, caching/acceleration, freshness, and whether one governed copy of data is preserved

10%

Embedding & Extensibility

White-label embedding, multi-tenant isolation and per-tenant row-level security, developer SDKs and REST/GraphQL APIs, infrastructure-as-code for content, and headless/API access for products you ship to customers

10%

Governance, Security & Administration

SSO/SAML/SCIM, granular RBAC, certified-content workflows and usage analytics, deployment options (multi-cloud, sovereign, on-prem), audit logging, and the operational burden of capacity, version, and content sprawl management

Total Cost & Ecosystem Alignment

Licensing unit (per-user vs. capacity vs. consumption) and how it scales to thousands of viewers, bundling with an incumbent cloud, migration and retraining cost, and lock-in to a single vendor’s data stack
